If its a fork of bitcoin then previous bitcoin addresses and private keys should work on btg.
so... "how do you have an address for btg?"
because you already do if you have a bitcoin address/pk

also.. i have a question due to all the confusion of this fork.
i do know it is equihash. i am already mining.

my question is, am i only mining on testnet or is it live?

cuase i read reports of it being live Nov 1st? so idk...
